A new thing to worry about

Somehow it got plugged in while I was working on it, and I touched the two wires together. Big bang. The end was in another room, and I'm yelling at my spouse: "Unplug that cord..." She got really ****ed off at me for yelling at her. (but was I wrong? bg) |

If you have to ask, you're not married.

A new thing to worry about
Hi!
Big bang. At which point you no longer needed to ask that the cord be unplugged. Reminds me of something that happened many years back when my dad was replacing the light fixture one room over. I said "you should really turn the power off before doing that". "Oh no, I'll do it hot." (I really have no idea what possessed him to do this, he knew better, but...) I was sitting at my desk, working on my computer when the lights went out. Evidently sound does travel slower than light, as it wasn't until a second or so later that I heard a swear word. g There was also a slight pop, but I never heard that. It kind of surprised me that a slight pop is all there was. She got really ****ed off at me for yelling at her. (but was I wrong? bg) Yes, if you have fuses or circuit breakers...! William |
